The OCSO has also added charges of murder and robbery to two earlier crimes filed against 26-year old Arderius Warren of Crestview. Twenty-one-year old Junior Christopher Ferguson of Jamaica died after being shot multiple times while he sat in a car in the parking lot at the Gulf Terrace Condominiums.
